Is empathy a principle you can teach
Or is it esoteric and out of reach
Embedded into our DNA
But somehow inaccessible day today
God knows I try to feel pity for my fellow man
So why do I feel the need to spit in outstretched hands
I’ve often wondered what it takes
To push a man so far he really breaks
Although I’ve seen it for myself
It seems abstract when it’s happening to someone else
Falling so short of the ideal
If I face it, I feel too much
So I just choose not to feel
I believe in few things you can touch
It’s mostly thoughts and words I’ve analyzed too much
As such, I often feel adrift
Wading through Rimbaud vеrses trying to catch a hint
Some days I’m just too exhaustеd to keep you in my thoughts
Doesn’t mean that I love you less
I’m just stretched too thin and shot
I wish that I could fix every problem
Give hope to every heart
But I just don’t have the strength and we’re all so far apart
